Turtle Beach (HEAR) to Post Q4 Earnings: What's in Store?

Read MoreHide Full Article

Turtle Beach Corporation (HEAR - Free Report) is scheduled to report fourth-quarter 2020 results on Mar 4, after the closing bell. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered a positive earnings surprise of 200%. It pulled off a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 81.5%, on average.

This San Diego, CA-based audio technology company is expected to have recorded higher revenues year over year. The performance is likely to have been driven by operational execution in a strong market for gaming accessories. It continues to offer new gaming hardware categories while accelerating expansion into select geographical regions.

During the fourth quarter, ROCCAT — Turtle Beach’s Hamburg, Germany-based PC peripheral brand — launched its Burst Pro PC gaming mouse. It also introduced the Vulcan Pro and Vulcan TKL Pro PC gaming keyboards.

Turtle Beach and TIDAL — a global music and entertainment streaming platform — expanded their partnership to focus on the intersection of gaming and music. Reportedly, Turtle Beach’s Stealth 600 Gen 2 and Stealth 700 Gen 2 wireless gaming headsets for Xbox and PlayStation were the top-selling wireless console headsets in North America in October.

For the December quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $132 million, indicating growth of 29.4% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The consensus estimate for adjusted earnings per share is pegged at 80 cents, which suggests a decline of 3.6%.
